[Current Mood: T_T ]
[Weapon of the day: Cough drops. They've gotten me through the day so far]
[Current game of fancy: Nothing....and again, will explain why]

Twice in a month. What are the odds? So, I suffer another week of having a cold (with a nasty cough...that's the annoying part). My throat doesn't really hurt. It just itches all the time. The only good thing that I've figured out with this cold is that Dayquil is kick ass. Soothes the throat so nicely. And it doesn't taste as nasty as Nyquil. Yeah, you might say that I should try cherry flavored Nyquil, but I'm not a big fan of cherries.

PS2 is on the mend. Hopefully. Will have to open her up again tomorrow and see if I can do anything. The DVD laser seems to have died. Why, I'm not sure. It's been running fine for the past month, and then today, it just stopped working. Cleaned the lens, but no go. So I opened her up for some voltage tuning, but the screw won't turn at all. So I gave up, as I ran outta time (people coming home, needing my operating table).

Thinking about proposing a few things to the quidditch board. The first has to do with the question sets. I feel, even after editing them, they can use more work. Because you don't catch as much editing (usually, for me, it gets so monotonous I actually miss simple things >_<). With more play, you realize how the question can be interpreted in so many different ways. I left a lot of long answer Qs thinking that there might be a way to shorten the answer (long answer for refs only) but I also missed a lot of last names stuff. And every once in a while, a "In book _". But yeah. I wouldn't mind working on it over the summer again. Make them better. It's for the benefit of all. The second quiddy thing dates back to the first year. Just curious if there's anyway to bring back points for winning and such. Not to the magnitude of 10,000, of course. But a nice consolation prize. Eh, who knows. Will think about. Of course, all this applies to next year.

Initial D binge continues. I have downloaded the complete second season *waves flag*. Which just leaves the OVA now. That's 600+ mb. So that'll take a while. Probably won't download at all next week. I'd be better off spending my time botting. Must get faster. The cold has really slowed me down to the speed of molasses. Not to mention I need to get used to the laptop being on a decent desk height. It'll take a little bit, but it should work out in the end.

Anyone who celebrates the Lunar New Year, I hope you had a good time! :) Year of the Monkey baby! I start my third twelve year cycle this year. Means I turn 24. Wow. I remember back when I was twelve thinking this would be a long ways away. Never pictured myself to be where I am now. But that's alright. If life were that predicatable, what fun would that be?

Hattie sent a cool card (late Christmas card ^_^). Had a wax seal. Purple/maroon. Like Hogwarts. Hee. Of course, it could stand for Hattie too....but amused. Very cool stuff. Love all the cards we got this year. Blue's bookmark really kicks ass. *waves Blue flag* Kai's cookies were awesome too. Though there aren't anymore of those...*eyes Yankee*. Ahem. Finally got the things my parents sent. Three day express ends up taking almost three weeks. Not sure who's fault it is. It didn't get lost. It just took forever.

With the money, we got a few things, and we also went to a Vietnamese restuarant. They actually served authentic Chinese food too. Was really nice. Kinda nostalgic. Talking with Kai about this the other day. Heh heh. I really do miss the food. Don't care if it's healthy or unhealthy (pats dim sum). I just miss the taste. *drools*

Amusing things this week include the Mary bot that ate the scores. Hee. We finally fixed it up this week. Hopefully it'll last for a bit. A lot of teamsters in this semester. But that's to be expected with the botting rage that's been going on. Hope it keeps up. Hope I can keep up.

Oh, I'm being paid to clean the house. I got $50 last week (since it was the first week, and the house was quite a mess) and $30 a week from here on in to keep it clean. I don't mind it at all. Just gotta remember to do the living room again (with 12 cats, the living room never lasts more thant 3-4 days) and the bathroom (which is quite clean, but I can polish some things up). It's a nice little bit of funding I guess.

Ooh. I got to drive this week. Twice. Now, most people wouldn't be so ecstatic at this, but I must point out that I haven't driven a car in about two years now. But the bigger thing is that my license expired...oh, about two years ago. So technically, I shouldn't be driving. But it was cool. It's been a while. Maybe it's just Initial D syndrome. Cars are just so fun to drive. Soooooo relaxing. Unless you're balancing a soda while you're at it, cause there are no cup holders ^_^;;

I'm pretty sure this entry is already crazy types of long. But guess what. It's ranting time.

*cracks knuckles*

Okay, was watching MTV a little while ago (there was something amusing on) and you know what I realized. Everyone says, about someone else "They're just being themselves, and that's what gets them so far." Ahem. Okee, think about this. That phrase can never go wrong. Everyone who uses that phrase is telling the truth, to some degree. How? Basically, if you were faking, then at that moment you said that phrase, you were lying too. But...I am always myself doesn't state whether or not you're a liar or not. It just states that you are you. Meaning if you are a liar, then you were telling the truth. Confusing, huh? ^_^ But yeah. You can't go wrong with those phrases. Which is probably why people use them. It sounds so good, but it can be so wrong.

Cliques and power. This one amuses me too. Because everyone wants to belong. But as humans, deep down, some of us want power. Some of us do have power. But some groups hold more sway then others, and that miffs people off. It's easier to hold sway as a group, because one person fighting against a group isn't very good odds, unless that person is magically skilled at such things. I guess the thing is, I just think it's semi-hypocritical to complain about cliques when you are in one yourself. Sure, they may abuse power and such, but do you do the same? Whatever. I had something more, but it broke. Even catch myself doing it sometime. Don't hate myself, cause sometimes it's just emotion, and it's nice to go with that gut feeling. But when I think back, I also think it's foolish to preach one way and act another. I guess no human is exempt from this type of hypocrisy. This is probably because the many ideals that are available to the world right now (the ones you can grow up with) are filled with so many contradictions that it's hard to keep track. And then it also falls on the individual and what he or she puts more value into. But yar. Maybe it's time for some new values and stuff to be found. Or some organization.

There was a third. Dammit. I was gonna give three for the price of one! I hate it when I forget! *baps head repeatedly* Glargh! Whatever. Death! Doom! Apocalypse! I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA! THE BEGINNING AND THE END!!!!!!....I've been wanting to put that somewhere for quite a while now.

But yar, outta here now. *hands out love to people*
*normal doses to friends*
*extra doses to teamsters*
*super extra doses to the afterhours gang (bounces off Yankee, Stl, Rehta, Terra-chan, SquishyCyn, Jade*swoons*, and LilywhoisinsanebutnotquiteasinsaneasJade)*
*full power mega ultra super dose to my beautiful and bestest Missa, as well as my annoying but adorable Aya. Sorry Aya. Haven't known you as long. Your dose is smaller*
